Gaza artist paints mural honouring US rapper Macklemore

According to a report by AFP, Palestinian artist Ubayy Al-Qarashli has painted a mural of US rapper Macklemore on the ruins of a building in Gaza City as a tribute to his support for Palestinians. Macklemore was previously dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour after declaring "Free Palestine" at a concert in New Jersey, drawing backlash from the owners of US stadiums hosting upcoming dates. Following a wave of criticism for failing to back his opening act, Sheeran later described the situation in Gaza as unjustifiable. This report is based on information provided by Agence France-Presse.
